Learn What Creates Abandonment Wounds? Physical abandonment: absent parent, divorce in childhood, death of a parent Emotional abandonment: parent present physically but emotionally unavailable, neglect Conditional love: love given only when you performed, achieved, or behaved "right" How Abandonment Shows Up in Your Dating Life: Anxious Attachment - You become clingy, need constant reassurance, fear being left Testing Behavior - You push men away to see if they'll stay (self-fulfilling prophecy) Settling - You accept breadcrumbs because any attention feels better than none Hyper-Independence - "I don't need anyone" becomes your armor, preventing intimacy Moving Too Fast - You rush commitment to secure the relationship before they can leave   Does This Sound Like You? ​ You keep attracting the same type of man—different face, same problems ​​You feel incapable of choosing the right man  You give your all and get breadcrumbs in return  You don't know how to trust your judgment after it's "failed" you before  You're exhausted from dating apps and game-playing  You wonder if God is punishing you for what you did in the past  You're ready to stop the cycle but don't know    If you nodded your head to any of these, I'd like to ask you some questions for a research I am doing.
